Sewing club member starting sewing with a metal bobbin.

Our club owns Janome computerized machines and one of our members sat down and started sewing with a metal bobbin used in mechanical Kenmore machines. The machine died and yielded the Stop of Safety message. Does a certain problem occur when a metal bobbin is used by mistake?

I have a Janome 9000, was sewing and broke needle, replaced and broke another. I didn't have machine threaded, took out bobbin and would sew a little and stop saying thread broke. I took off top plate and started machine again, sew a little and stop saying thread broke. So I took out bobbin case and sewed again and stopped repeating the message. Everything looks OK, bobbin case and top plate. I guess I want to know if the timing could be off or do you think it is the computer part of the machine...Should I take it to the Sewing Machine Shop??
